Since thou, O fondest and truest, Hast loved me best and longest, And now with trust the strongest The joy of my heart renewest; Since thou art dearer and dearer While other hearts grow colder And ever, as love is older, More lovingly drawest nearer: Since now I see in the measure Of all my giving and taking, Thou wert my hand in the making, The sense and soul of my pleasure; The good I have ne'er repaid thee In heaven I pray be recorded, And all thy love rewarded By God, thy master that made thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEDITATION ON A JUNE EVENING by CONRAD AIKEN FOR ST.
